Eli: Come on, come on, come on…
Chloe: I’m coming!
Eli: Well, we don’t have much time.
Chloe: You’ve seen planets from space.
Eli: How could you let yourself get jaded to this stuff so fast?
Chloe: I’m not jaded. I’ve just got other stuff on my mind.
Eli: Oh. Well, we’re just passing through the atmosphere of a gas giant on the far side of the universe in an ancient spaceship.

jaded -- stumpfsinnig, abgestumpft, übersättigt

Kommt von dem mittelenglischen Jalda, was ein altes, erschöpftes Pferd bezeichnet.

Hihi, altes Pferd. Wie ist denn da das “l” verloren gegangen?
